Richard A Marcum

1815 - 1850  (34 years)

• Name	Richard A Marcum
  Birth	Abt. 1815	Tennessee, USA
  	Many trees have Richard A. as the father of James Marcum. We have found no source or any kind of proof of this. There is no evidence of a Richard Marcum in Campbell County, TN. We put Richard here as a placeholder and hope to rectify this issue.
  Gender	Male
  Death	Bef. 1850	Wayne County, Kentucky
  	Must have died before September 1850 because Biddy is on census by herself with the kids.
